Clinton plan to destroy Russia

Leaked
emails are filling in the picture of a Bill-and-Hillary-Clinton plan
to destroy Russia — a plan which had originated with U.S. President
George Herbert Walker Bush in 1990, and which has been followed
through both by his son George W. Bush, and by both of the Clintons,
but which has only recently started to become documented by leaked
publications of personal communications amongst the key operatives
who were the insiders running this operation behind the scenes, and
who include Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush, Victoria
Nuland, Jeffrey Feltman, Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan al-Saud,
Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salman al-Saud, and the Emir of
Qatar.

This
operation came out into public view only briefly when the news site
Zero Hedge headlined on 6 October 2015 "Saudi Clerics Call For
Jihad Against Russia, Iran” and linked to a number of sources,
including to a Wall Street Journal report the day before, which
simply ignored the Saudi involvement and headlined “U.S. Sees
Russian Drive Against CIA-Backed Rebels in Syria”, as if this
matter were merely a U.S.-v.-Russia issue, not an issue involving the
Saud family at all. By contrast, the zerohedge article closed with
“‘This is a real war on Sunnis, their countries and their
identities,’ said the statement [by the International Union of
Muslim Scholars, which is based in Qatar, whose ruling family, the
Thanis, work closely with the Saud family]. It urged the rebels to
join a ‘jihad against the enemy of God and your enemy, and Muslims
will back you every way they can.’” As a British news-site for
jihadists put the matter, "According to experts, by issuing this
statement they seek to encourage Saudi, Gulf, and Muslim youths to
fight against Russian forces, similar to the recruitment of young
fighters during the Afghan-Soviet war.” (That joint U.S.-Saudi
operation, which was assisted by the Pakistani military and by
Pakistan’s heavily-Saudi-influenced Islamic clergy, was the
brainchild of Saudi Prince Bandar and of the born Polish aristocrat
Zbigniew Brzezinski, and its success at breaking up the Soviet Union
is an enduring topic of pride for today’s jihadists.) On 5 October
2015, the British mainstream ‘news’ site Reuters had called these
“Saudi opposition clerics”, and alleged that they “are not
affiliated with the government,” but Reuters’s statement
(especially that these were “Saudi opposition clerics”) was
simply false, and even ridiculously false, likely an outright lie,
because Saudi laws don’t allow any “opposition clerics,”
especially not Islamic ones, since those would be executed for
publicly questioning the legitimacy of the country’s rule by the
royal Saud family, which is what an “opposition cleric” in Saudi
Arabia would, by definition, be doing, if any of them existed there
and hadn’t been executed yet. The pretense, by Reuters, that Saudi
Arabia is a religious-freedom country, is an insult to their
readership, but this falsehood helps to keep their readership
thinking that somehow the West can be allied with the Sauds and yet
still call itself ‘democratic’ and allied only with ‘democratic’
governments, not with some of the world’s worst tyrannies. Realism
in foreign affairs (such as to acknowledge that some of the world’s
worst regimes are our government’s allies) is fine, but it can’t
include lying to one’s own public, because that necessarily entails
misinforming the voters on the basis of which any actual democracy
receives its very legitimacy as being a democracy, which seems less
and less what countries such as the U.S. and UK are, at least after
9/11. A “democracy” and a “deceived public” cannot coexist in
the same country — and, at least in the United States, a deceived
public is what predominantly exists (as a consequence of the many
deceiving ‘news’ media).

The Saud
family are always among the top ten foreign buyers of American
weapons. On 26 May 2015, David Sirota and Andrew Perez headlined in
International Business Times, “Clinton Foundation Donors Got
Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton's State Department”, and
reported that “In the years before Hillary Clinton became secretary
of state, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia contributed at least $10
million to the Clinton Foundation.” Then, Secretary of State
Clinton approved a $29 billion sale of U.S. weapons to the Saud
family, which enables the Sauds to mass-murder Shiites in neighboring
Yemen, and (via the Sauds’ surrogate jihadists) in Syria. Moreover,
“The Clinton-led State Department also authorized $151 billion of
separate Pentagon-brokered deals for 16 of the countries that donated
to the Clinton Foundation, resulting in a 143 percent increase in
completed sales to those nations over the same time frame during the
Bush administration.” Other than to fundamentalist-Sunni Saudi
Arabia, this burgeoning of military exports included weapons to the
Sauds’ fellow-fundamentalist-Sunni royal friends who own and run
Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar, all of whom had
donated to the Clinton Foundation and likewise gained Clinton’s
clearance to buy America’s weapons, even as the State Department
verbally condemned their countries for corruption, tyranny, and
funding jihadists around the world. These fundamentalist-Sunni
monarchies compete against both Russia and Iran in international oil
and gas markets, and appreciate a U.S. government that slaps economic
sanctions against, and that militarily threatens, their main economic
competitors: both Russia and Iran. During Hillary’s time at State,
military sales to the Sauds who own Saudi Arabia doubled, to the
royals who own Qatar increased 14-fold, to the royals who own UAE
increased ten-fold, and to the royals who own Bahrain increased
nearly three-fold. Other top donors to the Clinton Foundation
included the top U.S. military suppliers: Boeing, GE, Honeywell,
Lockheed Martin, and United Technologies. This is a charitable
operation — but certainly not to Russia, nor to the operation’s
other victims.

What we
see in Ukraine is probably another failure of various think tanks,
mostly from Washington, which they are funded, of course, by the
international capital. It seems that, apart from the fact that
they have underestimated Putin's abilities, they have also wrongly
estimated that Russia had passed permanently in the neoliberal
phase and would be ready to become an easy victim to promote their
plans. According to these plans, the ultimate goal would be
probably to dissolve the vast Russian territory in future and
bring in power Western-friendly puppet regimes, in order not only
to conquer the valuable resources, but also to impose permanently
the neoliberal doctrine on "unexplored" regions and
populations.

What was
left to do, for the moment, is to challenge Putin in order to drag
Russia in an endless attrition war in East Ukraine and this
explains to a degree Putin's hesitation to act like he did in
Crimea. Against Russian army, of course, the West will not risk to
put an organized military force, but only teams of mercenaries of
private armies, as already did. It is certain, however, that,
despite that the global economic oligarchy has lost valuable time
because of its wrong moves, it will not give up its plans for
Russia easily ...
